Manoj Narayanan commented on HIVE-21713: ---------------------------------------- [~kgyrtkirk] I assume you are referring to changing the name given here, [https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/plan/MoveWork.java#L35]. I assume it must be a straight forward change. But I had a few questions, it seems at least some of Explain classes are named as Operator. I did a code search and 66 classes had named as Operator out of total 600 odd ones. Only 1 of them had Task in the name. If that is the case, is it a convention to have Operator in the name ? So is it OK to continue to name it as 'Move Operator' ? Just wanted to confirm before proceeding with a patch. find . -name \*.java | grep -v Test | xargs grep @Explain | grep display | grep -i operator | wc -l 66 find . -name \*.java | grep -v Test | xargs grep @Explain | grep display | wc -l 641 find . -name \*.java | grep -v Test | xargs grep @Explain | grep display | grep -i task |wc -l 2 > Explain consistency Task/Operator > --------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-21713 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21713 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Zoltan Haindrich > Priority: Major > > there seems to be some inconsistency what gets printed in the explain; > for example "MoveTask" is shown as "Move Operator" in the explain > Becase Tasks and Operators are basically different things - this should be > corrected as it may cause confusion -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
